Huawei P20 Lite 2019 looks to be a bigger upgrade than expected

Contrary to the earlier leaks of the 2019 version of the Huawei P20 Lite, details from a recent report prove the update to the 2018 phone to be more than the usual.

The Huawei P20 Lite 2019 will have a 6.4-inch display with a 1080×2310 resolution, a bigger display from the initially reported 5.84-inch display. The front camera in its punch-hole display is a 16MP shooter with f/2.2 aperture. On the rear are its four cameras: a 24MP main camera with f/1.7 aperture, an 8MP sensor, and two 2MP lenses. It is expected that one of the 2MP cameras is a depth sensor, while the details of the other three cameras are yet to be revealed.

The 2019 version is powered by the mid-range chipset from HiSilicon, the Kirin 710 backed by 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of eMMC 5.1 flash storage. It will have a 4000mAh battery, 33% larger than its 2018 version. It will, however, not have wireless charging support.

The device also features a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, dual-band Wi-Fi, a USB-C port, a hybrid dual SIM slot that can also house a microSD card, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone measures at 159.1×75.9×8.3mm and weighs in at 178g.
